制度距离与外商直接投资--一项基于中国的经验研究

利用2000-2003年间69个投资国和地区的国别资料,本文分析了制度上的差异与作为东道国的中国吸引外商直接投资之间的关系.研究结果表明:文化制度差异越大,投资国在中国的直接投资越少;包括法律完善程度和私有财产保护程度在内的法律制度差异越大,投资国在中国的直接投资越少;贸易政策、货币政策、金融管制政策等宏观经济制度差异越大,投资国在中国的直接投资越少;政府干预程度、工资控制程度和市场规范程度等微观经济制度差异越大,投资国在中国的直接投资越少.在上述发现的基础上,本文提出了相应的政策建议.     

Estimating choice models in data-sparse environments: Taking advantage of perceived similarity

Research suggests that choice models conditioned on correctly identified consideration sets outperform choice models conditioned on the awareness set (Hauser, 1978; Roberts and Lattin, 1991). However, in data-sparse environments, where purchase history information is not available or not relevant, choice models conditioned on the consideration set often yield nonunique or nonsignificant solutions. In these environments, we propose the use of similarity information to improve the performance of choice models. Support for this position is found in an empirical application involving automobiles.     

Modeling how institutional investors allocate business to brokers

A model of how institutional investors evaluate and allocate business to brokers shows a complex pattern of influences. The broker's ability to execute transactions at appropriate prices is basic, but this combines with research and sales force performance to build a relationship that affects over-time allocation of business. It is difficult to separate relationship and selling performance, and relationship is subject to considerable decay. Research ability has a weak effect on business allocated on the basis of trading, while trading ability does affect business allocated on the basis of research.     

事业单位国有资产管理的制度设计、治理机制及其他

对事业单位国有资产管理进行改革已越来越迫切.作为规范性的事业单位的主体社会公益型组织,评价其资产管理工作的好坏不是以它们所创造的货币收益多少为指标,而必须研究设计出一整套多元的科学指标体系;应在医院、学校等事业单位建立理事会或董事会治理结构;重建成本核算的财务会计制度.     

我国房地产宏观金融风险研究

本文通过对房地产业中资金循环的三个环节以及影响房地产金融风险的宏观经济因素和制度因素的分析,研究了存在于我国房地产业中的宏观金融风险.通过与国际经验的比较,发现存在于我国房地产业中的宏观金融风险主要集中在开发企业环节,但是仍处于比较合理的范围内;宏观经济的繁荣带动了房地产业的本轮上升;制度因素对房地产宏观金融风险影响较大.从供给和需求两个层面的分析发现,存在着对房地产业金融风险的误读,对此需要进行客观评价.最后提出了从制度建设方面防范房地产宏观金融风险的建议.     

企业跨国经营管制制度障碍的探索性案例研究——以中铝海外并购力拓为例

基于管制制度视角,以中铝海外并购力拓为样本,采取探索性案例研究方法,发现管制制度在法律、政治、规则等层面对我国企业的跨国经营影响较大。企业可采取组建并购团队、海外经营前期调研、高度重视与并购相关的法律法规、淡化国有企业身份、选择合适的并购策略和强化企业公关活动等措施克服管制制度产生的障碍。     

Institutional and economic drivers of entrepreneurship: An international perspective

Entrepreneurial activity varies significantly across countries and over time. The economic and institutional context is a determining factor that can drive and lend shape to entrepreneurial activity. The search for a deeper understanding of the role of this factor constitutes a promising and important research stream. A thorough review of the specialist literature identifies groups of countries with similar economic and institutional environments. Subsequent analysis highlights differences in entrepreneurial activity and innovation outcomes between these homogeneous groups. Results indicate significant differences, not only in entrepreneurial activity, but also in the type of entrepreneurship and innovation results. These findings mark a relevant step forward in the identification of different environment types, and the effects of environment on entrepreneurial activity and innovation results.     

不同治理环境下制造业公司现金持有对其绩效影响研究

基于我国A股制造业上市公司2002~2011年数据,利用樊纲等编制的中国各地区市场化进程数据构建公司的治理环境,实证研究治理环境、公司现金持有与绩效之间的关系。研究发现,公司现金持有对其绩效产生了正面的影响,在治理环境差的地区这种影响更加明显。在治理环境好的地区,相对于国有公司,非国有公司现金持有对绩效的影响更大。在治理环境差的地区,国有公司和非国有公司的绩效对现金持有的敏感度差异较小。     

Reply to the Discussion Note on the “The Effect of IFRS Adoption Conditional Upon the Level of Pre-adoption Divergence”

Pathak (2014) has raised both conceptual and methodological questions about Cai, Rahman, and Courtenay (2014). In this reply, we attempt to address the questions. The discussion arising from these questions suggests that IFRS adoption and the implications of IFRS are complex issues. Cai et al. (2014) try to illustrate that IFRS adoption is not a single-step solution. It has various stages. Some countries take gradual steps towards IFRS adoption and others embrace IFRS in one big step. Cai et al. (2014) also explain that IFRS adoption is associated with other institutional arrangements within a country. The issue of the manner in which IFRS is adopted across countries needs further investigation to better assess the country level impediments of IFRS adoption and how IFRS adoption affects market efficiency.     

Equity culture development in Central and Eastern Europe: The role of institutional and managerial factors

In this paper we argue that the development of equity culture in the CEECs is dependent on the presence of a combination of factors stemming from the external institutional and internal managerial environments of the firm. We adopt an inductive approach by firstly analysing two levels of data followed by a conceptualisation based on gained results. We examine data for ten CEECs (all current EU members) for four years 1996, 2000, 2004, and 2008. To examine the characteristics of the institutional and managerial environments of the CEECs and assess their similarities to four benchmarks (UK, USA, Germany, and Japan) we apply a Co-Plot methodology. We find that the presence of an advanced and well developed institutional framework together with the existence of specific managerial conditions is a necessary condition for equity culture development. One could argue that in the CEECs the transition process of institutional conditions necessary for the development of a sound financial system is in place but with some limitations. Furthermore, we find that managers in countries with the best potential for equity culture development are highly motivated, high-skilled people with international corporate experience.
